The Lich of Glory Knight Spirit: Moving towards Krimasha!-Chapter 678 - 6: Insect Clan (2)

The negotiation fell apart.

What does the Insect Clan want?

The Insect Clan wants water sources and land under the sunshine.

Can you agree to that?

Ha ha. Richie just wanted to answer with these two words.

However, at least one thing was confirmed. That is, Pegasus is indeed in Shisun City.

As long as he’s in Shisun City, there’s no reason he can’t be found. Even if he’s buried underground, Richie can dig him out. He’ll bind him and take him back if necessary.

After all... Richie wouldn’t be as soft-hearted as Gray.

Only half an hour later, Richie left.

With a gloomy face?

Well, Richie looked like a zombie, having no expression at all. Even if he wasn’t turned into his current form, he would walk around with a cold face, giving off a vibe of strangers keep away.

"Honorable sir, how did it go? Did Prince Attila agree to your request?" Upon seeing Richie, Bofran hurried over.

"Let’s head back first." Richie turned around and stepped onto the staircase formed by gathering insects and boarded the dragonfly beast.

"It seems there was some difficulty." Bofran stretched out his tentacles and followed onto the dragonfly beast: "No worries, honorable sir, Bofran will help you think of other ways. Maybe we can try contacting other subsequent insects? Although... this possibility is not great, almost everything will be coordinated between subsequent insects. But we can still give it a try."

Richie still looked like he wanted strangers to keep away, without answering.

Until Bofran carried Richie, piloting the dragonfly beast out of the heart chamber, did Richie look back at Attila standing far inside the chamber, and whisper: "What’s your relationship with Attila?"

"Uh..." Bofran hesitated and asked: "Which aspect are you asking about, sir?"

"Are you her insect progeny? It seems from the context when you speak to me that you don’t completely lean towards her..."

"Uh..." Bofran awkwardly replied: "Yes, Bofran is not Prince Attila’s insect progeny, but she is indeed Bofran’s subsequent insect."

"Tell me about your own background."

The dragonfly beast sped through the narrow tunnel.

With the help of a group of insects close to him, Bofran turned around and looked at Richie with his big eyes: "Alright, sir. Bofran is a brain insect, which you are aware of."

"Right." Richie nodded: "And then?"

Bofran continued: "Brain insects are the only insects besides noble insects and subsequent insects that have self-awareness. You can understand it as... we are like humans. Subsequent insects and noble insects have almost infinite lifespans, but their lives are obviously not as resilient as Liches. After all, Liches have soul phylacteries. Subsequent insects and noble insects can die for various reasons."

"Your original subsequent insect died?"

"Yes."

"My condolences."

"Hehe, it was a matter of nearly fifteen hundred years ago." Facing the fierce wind, Bofran turned to look at Richie and continued: "So Bofran became a masterless brain insect. But as you know... brain insects cannot live independently away from other insects. We don’t even have feet. Brain insects’ lifespans can reach over five thousand years, possibly even longer. But other insects can’t, many have lifespans of only twenty to thirty years, some even as little as three to five years. The insects originally around Bofran already died. Bofran must depend on a subsequent insect, relying on her provided insect progeny to survive. Bofran doesn’t want to die..."

This confirms Richie’s guess, right?

"So you depended on her." Richie continued to ask: "What did you provide her?"

Bofran replied: "Intelligence. Bofran runs a hostel with a lot of intelligence, living in the city, knowing all kinds of changes in the city. Although not much and not very useful, Bofran doesn’t ask for much, do I? Plus for Bofran’s insect progeny, I need to pay money to redeem them. In return, the subsequent insect cuts off all connections with them."

So, like a vassal?

"What do subsequent insects need money for?" Richie continued to ask.

"Money is a good thing, can be used for trading. You can buy some interesting little trinkets, buy food, if enough, even buy territory." Bofran said vividly: "Within the Insect Clan no money is needed, but trading with other races requires countless money. Hehehe."

"Are there many brain insects like you without a master?"

"There are quite a few."

"Do they all live in the city?"

"Not necessarily, most live outside the city. We take on tasks to support ourselves."

"Then how can I find them?"

"You can go to the Insect Theater."

A theater specializing in insect clan performances? Brau also mentioned it, said it’s a major feature of Shisun City.

After listening seriously to everything, Richie whispered: "Take me to the Insect Theater. After completing everything, I’ll give you another large sum."

"No, it’s not necessary, Lord Bailey saved Bofran’s life, that’s already the biggest..."

Bofran seemed to want to politely refuse. However, at this time, the dragonfly beast carrying them just happened to fly out of the tunnel.

Firelight reflected on Richie’s face from Shisun City. His face was covered with incomplete skin and muscles, missing an eyeball, a cold expression chilling to spectators.

Bofran had no choice but to change his statement: "Thank you, honorable sir, Bofran will certainly accomplish what you entrusted to me."

It must be said, Bofran’s existence greatly helped Richie’s journey. Without Bofran, it’s really uncertain how he could penetrate the iron-clad Insect Clan. Now Richie can at least know a lot of information about the Insect Clan that the outside world does not know.
